Read the passage given below and answer the questions based on your understanding of the
passage (Question Nos. 46-50)
Sonification and visualization by sound, has been studied widely for decades and it has also been
applied in software for blind people. The aim is to display, for example, graphics, line graphs or
even pictures using non-speech sound. By altering the various attributes of sound, for example
pitch, volume and waveform, the sound is changed according to its visual counterpart. In the
Sound-View application a colored surface could be explored with a pointing device. The idea
was that the characteristics of colors, hue, saturation and brightness were mapped into sounds.
In 10 years, over 400 audio games have been developed, which is very small as compared
to video games. Researchers could have an important role to play in that expansion process, by
contributing to develop innovative features like a more pleasant audio rendering, by projecting
audio games in a futuristic point of view by using uncommon technology like GPS for instance
and by participate in the elaboration of games which can interest both visually and visually
impaired community.
Current audio games can be studied with three dependency factors (1) dependency on
verbal information, (2) dependency on interaction mechanisms based on timing and (3)
dependency on the interaction mechanisms of exploration.
Action games directly refer to games coming from and inspired by arcade games and
require a good dexterity of the player. One example of such games is “Tampokme” is such an
accessible audio game.
